FAQs
Can I make a profit trading initial public offerings (IPOs)?
Yes, you can make a profit trading initial public offerings if you correctly predict share price movements. However, if your prediction is incorrect, you’d incur a loss.
You’ll use CFDs to take a position on share price movements after the stock has listed. When utilising these financial derivatives to trade with us, you’d use leverage. While this means that you only need a small deposit – called margin – to open your position, your potential profits and possible losses will also be magnified to the full value of the position. Making it vital to manage your risk properly.

What are the risks of trading in an IPO?
While there are risks involved in any trading activity, IPOs have additional risks. These include:
- Not being adequately informed with important company information that might affect share prices, e.g. ongoing legal cases and intellectual property that isn’t patent protected
- A short to no trading history to inform trading decisions
- Market expectations not being met due to inflated estimations
- Companies not meeting their target market cap
It’s important that you have all the relevant information before you commit to any trade. When trading IPOs, some useful documents include company prospectuses and admission documents. Staying informed helps you avoid risks that might affect your position.
